Problem: Random buttons or image buttons.

[LongHairRkr]

Help gang!

I know there has to be a way to do this but I'm too smart to figure this out.

What I'd like to do is have two image buttons from a list of characters so that you can click each one to jump to an event. I want to make these characters randomly picked when you come into the "room" and not pick the same character in both slots ever.

Example:
List one: Jessica, James, John, Mike, Robert, and Michelle
List two: Jessica, James, John, Mike, Robert, and Michelle

I want it to pick one from list one, and then one from list two, but never have Mike (or whoever) picked in BOTH lists, only one. These would appear as imagebuttons for each character as in:

imagebutton auto "maps/peaseyhouse/buttons/mike_%s.webp" action Jump ("mdiningroom") xalign 0.5 yalign 0.97
imagebutton auto "maps/peaseyhouse/buttons/jessica_%s.webp" action Jump ("jdiningroom") xalign 0.5 yalign 0.97

I'm certain there must be a way. Hope you can help!

Thanks in advance!

You can use this to pick random names where nameA and nameB will never be the same.

Code: Select all

default listA=["Jessica", "James", "John", "Mike", "Robert", "Michelle"]
default listB=[0,1,2,3,4,5]
default pickA=0
default pickB=0
default nameA=0
default nameB=0

label start:

    $ listB=[0,1,2,3,4,5]                                             ### reset listB
    $ pickA=listB.pop(renpy.random.randint(0,5))    ### pick random from full list and remove chosen
    $ pickB=listB.pop(renpy.random.randint(0,4))    ### pick random from decimated list

    $ nameA=listA[pickA]
    $ nameB=listA[pickB]

    "[nameA]:[nameB]"     ### show result

    jump start

To show a button with the right image you can use if/elif

Code: Select all

if pickA==0:
        imagebutton auto "maps/peaseyhouse/buttons/jessica_%s.webp" action Jump ("mdiningroom") xalign 0.5 yalign 0.97    
elif pickA==1:
        imagebutton auto "maps/peaseyhouse/buttons/james_%s.webp" action Jump ("mdiningroom") xalign 0.5 yalign 0.97
